During the conflict itself the stresses and strains brought l on by confrontations ranging from name-calling to pitched battles move people to the brink of mutual destruction. The resulting t human casualties as well as the physical destruction serve to I exacerbate the situation to such a degree that reconciliation be­ comes virtually impossible. The warring participants, meanwhile, f have done irreparable damage to their common heritage and to ( their shared government and territory through excessive claims I and counterclaims designed to make their opponents' position appear both untenable and ludicrous. I. Situations such as these have occurred throughout history; they l are merely the most extreme and most tragic of numerous kinds ( of conflicts that beset mankind. As civil conflicts-among broth­ I ers, compatriots, coreligionists, and the like-they present a spe­ ! cial problem not only in the prosecution of the conflict itself but t in the peculiar problems related to reconciliation once the conflict \ has been resolved. One can well imagine, for example, the utter bitterness and sense of alienation that both sides felt in the conflict r, that marked the struggle for power between the death in 1493 of . Sonni Ali, the ruler of the Songhay empire, and the succession of Askia Muhammad some months later. The struggle was not 1-, ~ ~;: ( *Reprinted by permission American HistoriealReview 1980. All rights reserved. I 1 ,( i AMERICAN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION only between the legitimate heir and an army commander but also between the traditional religion and the relatively new, aggressive religion ofIslam, a struggle in which the military man and his new religion emerged victorious.1 Historians have learned a great deal about these events, al­ though they are wrapped in the obscurity and, indeed, the evasive strategies of the late Middle Ages. Despite the bitterness of the participants in the struggle and the dissipating competition of scholars in the field, we have learned much more about the internal conflicts of the Songhay empire of West Mrica and about the details of Askia Muhammad's program of reconstruction than we could possibly have anticipated-either because the keepers of the records were under his influence or because any uncompli­ mentary accounts simply did not survive. Interestingly enough, however, the accounts by travelers of the energetic and long-range programs of reconstruction coincide with those that the royal scribes provided.2 Another example of tragic internal conflict is the English Civil War of the seventeenth century. The struggle between Charles I and those who supported a radical Puritan oligarchy led not only to a bloody conflict that culminated in the execution of the king but also to bizarre manifestations of acrimony that ranged from denouncing royalism in principle to defacing icons in the churches. Not until the death of Oliver Cromwell and the collapse of the Protectorate were peace and order finally achieved under Charles n, whose principal policies were doubtless motivated by his desire to survive. The king's role in the reconstruction of England was limited; indeed, the philosophical debates concerning, as well as the programs for, the new society projected by the Protectorate had a more significant impact on England's future than the res­ toration of the Stuarts had. Thanks to every generation of scholars that has worked on the English Civil War and its aftermath, we have had a succession of illuminations without an inordinate amount of heat. Granted, efforts to understand the conflict have not always been charac­ terized by cool objectivity and generous concessions. But, be­ cause historians have been more concerned with understanding 'Nehemiah Levtzion, "The Long March of Islam in the Western Sudan," in Roland Ohver, ed., The Middle Age of African HIstory (London, 1967), 16-17.

  • First English Civil War (1642-46), the Second English Civil War (1648) and the Third English Civil War (1649-51)
    CIVIL WAR OF ENGLAND The English Civil War happened in the middle 17th century. The term civil war is a war where the sides involved in the fighting are from the same country. At the centre, there was a struggle between King Charles I and the Parliament of England over how England should be ruled. The King wanted to rule without Parliament telling him what to do. At first Parliament wanted to reduce the King's power, but later it decided that the country did not need a king. King Charles's supporters were known as the Royalists, and were nicknamed "Cavaliers". Parliament's supporters were known as the Parliamentarians, and were nicknamed "Roundheads". From 1639 to 1653, there was fighting in England, Scotland and Ireland, three separate countries that were ruled by the same king. The fighting that took place in each of these countries broke out at different times and for different reasons. In England, it lasted from 1642 to 1651. Some people think of this as one big war, while others think of it as three separate wars: the First English Civil War (1642-46), the Second English Civil War (1648) and the Third English Civil War (1649-51). The wars are also sometimes known as the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, including the Bishops' Wars in Scotland in 1639 to 1640 and the Irish Rebellion from 1641 to 1653. The Parliamentarians won the war. Charles I was captured, put on trial and in 1649 he was executed. His son CharlesII then tried to take over the country, but lost and escaped abroad.

    © 2010 by Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, The Netherlands (ISBN: 978 90 04 18262 2) CHAPTER THIRTEEN PATRES PATRIAE OR PRODITORES PATRIAE? LEGITIMIZING AND DE-LEGITIMIZING THE AUTHORITY OF THE PROVINCIAL ESTATES IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY BOHEMIA Petr Maťa Th is contribution is concerned with patriotic sentiment and language in Bohemia in the second half of the seventeenth century.1 It aims primarily at providing greater historical context to what has been writ- ten on this topic. Here, I will introduce new evidence framed by a case study. Yet a case study might be exactly a good starting point given the current state of knowledge. Hitherto, interpretations have been built up on a markedly limited scrutiny of source material, and historians have usually overprivileged a few texts and fi gures at the expense of many others. Being interested primarily in tracing the lin- eage of a national consciousness, they have perpetuated the tendency, deep-rooted in the traditional master narrative of a Czech national history, to line up seventeenth- and eighteenth-century “patriots”— mostly authors of historiographical and hagiographical writings—in a chain of canonized witnesses of national awareness. Th is tendency has predetermined both the selective research interests and the inter- pretation of these texts as primarily manifestations of Czech national consciousness. 1 In this article, I deliberately avoid the term “patriotism”. Beyond the general problematic nature of the “ism” terms, especially when applied to the premodern and early modern situations, it is precisely the notion of patriotic talk as primarily an expression of consistent patriotic positions or even a political doctrine that I intend to problematize here.

  • The 30 Years' War (1618-48) and the Second Defenestration of Prague
    23 May 2018 The 30 Years’ War (1618-48) and the Second Defenestration of Prague Professor Peter Wilson Introduction The Thirty Years War was a struggle over the political and religious balance in the Holy Roman Empire (early modern Europe’s largest state). It began precisely 400 years ago today with the famous Defenestration of Prague 1618 when three Habsburg officials were thrown out of a window in Prague Castle. Led by Heinrich Matthias Thurn, a party of disgruntled Bohemian aristocrats forced their way into the meeting chamber of the Habsburg councillors who governed Bohemia for the monarch, the ailing Emperor Matthias, who was away in Vienna. Finding most of their targets also absent, the angry Bohemians seized two of the councillors, Vilem Slavata and Jaroslav Borita von Martinitz. After a short altercation, both were bundled out of the window before several of those present fully knew what was going on. The two were shortly followed by their secretary, Philipp Fabricius, whose pleas for mercy inadvertently attracted the attention of the more resolute of the Defenestrators. Despite some injuries, all three survived the fall, and Fabricius was able to escape to warn the authorities in Vienna (and was subsequently ennobled as von Hohenfall, or ‘of the high fall’, for this). This event opened what became the Thirty Years War which drew in virtually all the other European countries, either directly as belligerents, or indirectly supplying aid to one or other side. Spain, France, Denmark, Sweden, and Transylvania all intervened directly at least once. Britain, the Dutch Republic, Poland-Lithuania, the Ottoman Empire, the papacy and various Italian states all intervened indirectly, mainly by providing financial and military aid to one or more of the active belligerents.
